Why didn't you get it from the Canadian distributor Dany?

Even if the unassembled kit isn't listed, he can get it for you FAST.

I have been very happy ordering from Dany (CanadaDrones). And I found the higher prices are justified as you'll end up paying as much to FedEx getting it over the border.

He also ships the items right away.

Either way, I hope your item makes it in time. My last order took two weeks just to ship, hopefully that isn't always the case.

Thanks,

Even with shipping via Fedex it is about than 40$ cheaper than buying from Dany.

I have already bought from diydrones thanks everyone.

Now waiting for shipment.

I ship parts in and out of Canada as part of my real world job, FedEx will cost. More with duty tax and broker fees you would have been better to use danny and faster as well

It's ok, Norayr you can buy from where ever you want, I am fine with it. Really. 

Like most are saying my prices are a bit higher of APM2 for several reasons.  I also get dinged with duty/broker and taxes, just like you will be.  I solder and TEST the APM2 before they leave the door, also my APM2 are in Stock (when the webstore says so), no pre-order, no waiting time. And most importantly in my mind is the 1 to 1 customer services.  

I really don't do this business for profit and fat cash! :) margin is quite low and support/RMA is high. 

I do it for fun and to give great service to my fellow Canadians.  

Current order for APM2 from 3DR (US store) are around 2 weeks backlogged.  

They are pretty clear about it on their website:

Availability:: Usually Ships in 2 to 4 Weeks

I really don't think they will make it for you in time.

OK that's clear.
One more question

I think i can cancel my order and reorder it from your site.
Can you ship it to ontario Mississauga untill 3-rd of July and if yes which shipping method should I use.

I'll prefer to pay saying 10or20$ more but have the item shipped in date.

The US store and mine are not connected and so I dont know their cancellation policy. 

I can currently ship new APM2 orders Friday morning at the earliest (if no issues testing, I really put them on my test quad and fly them all) 

Select Priority mail to get it fast. I will do my best to ship ASAP but there is currently 3 APM2 orders in front of you.

Not much info that I can provide except telling you that Fedex *might* call you to say that your package needs to go to custom for inspection, then they ask if you have a broker or a Fedex Account to cover the charges.  I don't remember the costs when I was not a business... now it varies from $15 to $45 depending on how they feel? hehe 

custom *might* charge you the taxes (HST 13%) on the purchase price, most of the time they do! But again folks are sometimes lucky! 

Overall when they tag your parcel for these things you can expect another 1-3 days delay.  And may need some paper work (most likely not as it's low cost) 

You can always email 3DR at Sales@3drobotics.com, they are friendly and dont bite! :)
